    Gives my fair skin a healthy glow

    I have fair skin and I usually end up with the lightest foundation available. Those foundations give me good coverage but tend to make me look too pale or pasty and one tone darker looks too dark for my skin. This foundation has the perfect balance -- it blends with my fair skin to smooth my complexion, while giving me a healthy, sun-kissed glow. I have freckles that pop in the summertime and this foundation evens my skin tone without covering up all of my freckles. I've been very happy with this foundation and plan to buy it again. — 1 year ago

    Not for freckles

    I was very excited to get this foundation. When i used it i relized it changed to the color of my freckles and made a portion of my face look like the color of my freckles. It also had a light coverage — 1 year, 4 months ago

    Review subject

    This is really the only makeup which provides natural-looking coverage and doesn't make me break out. I love the fact that it has SPF in it, and the shades are great for light-to-medium complexions. My only complaint is that it doesn't last throughout the day. Overall though, it's my main foundation of choice :) — 1 year, 5 months ago

    Just OK

    I had high hopes for this foundation, but it didn't work well for me. The coverage is very sheer, but it feels heavy on your skin. It doesn't last very long and has zero oil- control. It does match your skin tone, but that alone isn't enough. — 1 year, 7 months ago

    Malicious!

    I bought this makeup because I have such a hard time finding makeup in my shade. I put it on my finger tips. It's comes out white with little tiny blue beads. Than I started rubbing it on my face and it started changing colors. But defiantly not my color. It was pretty off. I could notice a big difference from my neck to my face. It was a little sleek looking and spread fine. But after a while it got so oily. When I tried washing it off. Omg. This is where the real problems started. I had to use three different types of soap & it still wouldn't come off. It seemed like the only thing that was washing off was the color. It left behind this oily stick ruff type of stuff that wouldn't come off my face. I had to use baking soda and finally just to make sure I got it all off. Used rubbing alcohol and a cotton ball . I could see this yellowish nasty tint come off. It was horrible. I made sure I got it all off and used a mask after ward cause I felt so bad w all the washing I did to my face. I couldn't imagine taking this makeup off every day -_- never again. — 1 year, 7 months ago

    Not what I had hoped for

    I bought this because of all the great commercials they played when this product first came out, so I feel like a sucker. I bought this and couldn't wait to try it on, it went on smooth (but dried a bit fast, which made it hard to blend) after washing it off and working VERY quickly I got it to blend a little better but the coverage was not what I thought it should be. It's more of a tinted moisturizer, so good for those hot days in the summer when you just want very light coverage (I do like the fact that it offers some SPF coverage). It's a decent product but does not live up to be a fabulous as the commercial makes it sound — 1 year, 7 months ago
